Four wrist options for flexible mobility, easy operation, and compatibility with our prosthetic systems. VINCENTwrist Wrist joints for adults and children | Standard, extra short, adjustable flexion | Low weight | Short length quicksnap | quicksnap+flexion | short | short+flexion VINCENTwrist quicksnap The standard wrist joint makes it possible to quickly and easily attach and remove the hand prosthesis. The joint offers compatibility with other systems such as DynamicArm or Boston Digital Arm™. VINCENTwrist short Our transcarpal joint convinces with its uniquely low mounting depth and is therefore also suitable for long arm stumps. In addition to the prosthesis-side joint, the shaft-side lamination plate (22 g / 0.05 lb) is also particularly light. The standard wrist and the transcarpal joint can be rotated noiselessly and gridlessly. The force required for rotation can be individually adjusted for each user. Both wrists can be combined with the joint VINCENTwrist flexion that can be angled. VINCENTwrist flexion The joint has a large range of movement and allows for flexion from -36° to +36°. lt is particularly suitable for bilateral users due to its switchless operation. The position is changed by pulling, moving and releasing. Our four wrist options are characterized by their low mounting depths. Due to the intelligent multi-material-mix, the wrists are particularly light and at the same time very robust and corrosion resistant.

Answers to frequently asked questions about hand prostheses, exoskeletons, technology, cost coverage, and everyday life with Vincent Systems products. FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions I would like a VINCENT prosthesis. What do I need to do? You can get an appointment for a consultation and a prosthetic fitting from an orthopedic technician who has experience in the field of arm prosthetics. For a consultation appointment and fitting of a VINCENT prosthesis, the prosthetist must have attended appropriate training and obtained a certificate for these products. You can find a list of certified partners here: Partners near you.(https://www.vincentsystems.de/en/zertifizierte-partner) Does health insurance pay for the prosthesis? The costs for a prosthetic fitting with a VINCENT hand system are usually covered by all insurance providers. However, it is always an individual decision by the respective health insurance company whether a fitting is approved in each case. This depends on many factors that affect the prosthesis user, not so much the hand prosthesis. As soon as a prescription from the doctor is available, the prosthetist applies to the health insurance company for the fitting. If the application is rejected, this preliminary decision can also be appealed, and the prosthetist will usually handle this for you as well. An experienced prosthetist knows the legal situation; he can advise you and guide you through the process to the finished prosthesis. From what age is the VINCENTyoung3+ suitable? We recommend our pediatric and adolescent hand prosthesis from the age of 8. Ultimately, it depends on the development of the child. Let our certified partners advise you. (https://www.vincentsystems.de/en/zertifizierte-partner) Can I get my prosthesis wet? All VINCENT prostheses are splash-proof. The Evolution3+ (https://www.vincentsystems.de/en/vincent-evolution3)and the Evolution4 a(https://www.vincentsystems.de/en/vincent-evolution4)re water resistant, these hands can be cleaned under running water and immersed in water, the immersion depth is not limited by the hand but by the water protection of the prosthesis stem. The Evolution4 has the highest water protection in the range of multi-articulating hand systems. Can I drive when wearing a prosthesis? Please do not drive in road traffic with your VINCENT prosthesis without further notice and observe our safety and warranty information. In order to be allowed to drive a vehicle with a hand prosthesis, a corresponding modification as well as the approval of the registration authority / TÜV [German technical inspection association] is usually required. Please contact your local registration office for more information. Do I have to wear a glove with the VINCENT prostheses? The hand has been designed to follow an aesthetic and anatomical shape even without a cosmetic glove.(https://www.vincentsystems.de/en/handschuhe) Materials and passive elasticities in the joints convey a natural feel. Therefore, most users wear the hand without a cosmetic cover. Vincent’s artificial hand systems combine excellent high-tech with design and quality. They are like a piece of clothing that underlines the personality of its wearer. Most people find the technology fascinating, combined with a positive interest in the new type of artificial hand. What should I do if the prosthesis breaks? Should it ever happen that the prosthesis no longer works, the orthopedic technician (https://www.vincentsystems.de/en/zertifizierte-partner)is the first port of call. He will take care of the repair or may even be able to solve the problem. How loud is the prosthesis? Depending on the prosthesis variant,(https://www.vincentsystems.de/en/produkte) there are up to 6 motors in an artificial hand. These rotate at a high speed and drive the prosthesis via a multi-stage planetary gear and another gear stage directly in the finger joint. This causes a motor noise depending on the muscle signal-controlled speed. The noise becomes louder the more motors run simultaneously and the faster they rotate. Slow hand movements are therefore also very quiet, comparable, for example, to the noise of an electric telephoto lens of a digital camera. The hand is loudest when all motors are closed simultaneously at maximum speed, e.g. in the cylinder grip. This noise can then be compared to the moving noise of a model railroad, for example. The user of the hand can therefore control the soundscape very easily via his muscle signals. How heavy is the hand? A natural human hand of an adult weighs about 350 g to 500 g, depending on body size. The weight of an artificial hand is not distributed as optimally on the arm as that of the natural one. Also, the weight of the socket, liner and the battery add to the weight of the prosthesis. In addition, the heaviest component of the prosthesis, the hand, is located at the outermost, distal end of the arm, so the leverage ratios are particularly unfavorable. A hand prosthesis must therefore be as light as possible. VINCENT hand systems weigh between approx. 300 g and 480 g, depending on the type of hand. Do you have further questions?

History of the Fluidhand and the VINCENTevolution 1998 Fluidhand 1 thin foil soft robot hand with 5DOF, 5iDOF This first soft hand consists of thin foil layers, which have been joined together to form more complex drives in a sandwich construction. Five fingers, built up from 6 foil layers each, functionally welded in pairs, with the middle two foils forming the skeletal structure filled with epoxy resin. The outer two foil layers each form a fluidic muscle. For this purpose, two thin films were welded together in such a manner that chambers were formed in a row and connected to each other. When this structure is inflated with a gas or liquid, it contracts by about 20% of its length, similar to the natural muscle, and the finger curls up like a bow. Read more 1999 Fluidhand 2 silicon tube soft sobot hand with 16DOF, 11iDOF The new planar technology for manufacturing fluidic drives and kinematics was therefore ideally suited for actively moving miniature catheters and endoscopes. However, the forces achievable with planar film drives, which operate at a working pressure of 0.5-1 bar, were too low for the construction of an artificial hand. To generate higher grasping forces, a correspondingly higher working pressure had to act in the fluidic drives. For Fluidhand 2, “artificial muscles” based on thin silicone hoses were therefore used, which were sheathed with a flexurally flexible, stretch-resistant fabric made of polyamide. Read more 2000 Fluidhand 3 rubber bulg soft hand prosthesis with 10DOF, 1iDOF With the third generation of the Fluidhand, Schulz transferred the technology of flexible fluid actuators to a hand prosthesis. To achieve higher grasping forces, the drives were modified for grasping even heavy objects. The unfolded silicone tubes reinforced with fabric were replaced by miniature folded bellows, which in turn were encased in fabric and attached to aluminum joints in the folds by nylon threads to keep their shape. Three drive elements in each finger, with the two distal bellows coupled together, and two drives in the thumb allow 14 joint axes to move in this hand, equivalent to 14 DOF at 10 iDOF. The fluid actuators were driven by means of miniature hydraulics. The control system, consisting of pump, valve, electronics, sensors and tank, was connected to the prosthesis via a hose approximately 1 m long. The hydraulic unit was the size of a portable telephone and was worn on the belt. Read more 2001 Fluidhand 4 rubber bulg soft hand prosthesis with 10DOF, 6iDOF The Fluidhand 4 has 10 flexible bellows drives, each of which, when pressurized, angles an aluminum joint by 90 degrees. Stretching is achieved by suction of the drive medium and by additional elastic bands. Each long finger has two drives that are fluidically coupled to each other and each leads to a common control valve in the metacarpus. The thumb has two individually movable drives, each of which is actuated by a separate valve. The drive medium is water. This hand prosthesis operates hydraulically for the first time. A miniature pump draws the fluid from an elastic reservoir in the forearm and pumps it at up to 6 bar via the valve bank into the bellows drive chambers. The pump and valves are controlled by a microprocessor in the hand, and the prosthesis wearer gives the control commands via myoelectric sensors. Read more 2002 Fluidhand 5 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 8DOF, 5iDOF The Fluidhand 5 was designed with the aim of integrating all system components of miniature hydraulics into the metacarpals in order to make the hand compatible with established socket systems. The prosthesis can be connected to all standard prosthetic sockets via a quicksnap wrist. Both the myoelectric sensors and the energy storage of the socket are used. The pump, fluid tank, valve bank and controller are located in and on the metacarpus. With the reduction in tank size, the number of fluidic drive was reduced to 8. The ring finger and little finger are flexed over one drive each. In the weight-optimized frame in sandwich construction, the elastic finger abduction was integrated. Five valves control the 8 drives of the hand, with the ring, little and middle fingers being hydraulically connected to each other. Read more 2003 Fluidhand 6 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 4DOF, 3iDOF The Fluidhand 6 is a particularly compact version of the hydraulic hand prosthesis, reduced to the essentials. The index, middle and ring fingers are each moved in the base joint via a flexible bellows drive, the little finger is mechanically coupled to the ring finger, and the middle finger is hydraulically coupled to the ring finger. The thumb is actuated in the basic joint. In this way, the thumb and index finger can be moved separately, while the other fingers move together. The 4 drives are controlled by a 3 valve bank, the miniature pump sucks distilled water from a pressure storage tank to pump it into the drive chambers. The weight of the hand is about 350 g. The aluminum fingers were covered with a PU foam. In the basic joints, all long fingers have an elastically mounted abduction.

It is used to develop new control methods and to test a new tank system that is capable of storing energy. The hand therefore has one valve for each of the 8 drives. A type of spring accumulator was developed for the hydraulic tank, which allows the hand to be closed quickly and silently without the hydraulic pump operating. Due to the large number of new and experimental components, the metacarpus has turned out to be significantly larger than the previous model, but at this stage of development, the anatomical shape and size of the hand is not a priority. Read more 2005 Fluidhand 8 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 8DOF, 4iDOF The Fluidhand 8 has 8 drives that are controlled via 5 valves. The bellows in the index finger and middle finger are each hydraulically coupled with each other, and the drives of the ring and little fingers are also connected with each other via a common valve. The special feature of this further development is that the metacarpus has been replaced by a hermetically sealed pressure body. Inside the metacarpus is an elastic tank in the form of a diaphragm, in which both the drive medium (vegetable oil) and the control electronics, valves and pump are integrated; all system components "float" permanently in the drive medium. Between the pressure body shell and the diaphragm there is again a two-phase gas with a constant pressure of 2 bar. Read more 2006 Fluidhand 9 rubber bulg soft handprosthesis with 5DOF, 5iDOF The Fluidhand 9 has 5 drives of different sizes. The base joints of the index finger and middle finger are equipped with stronger drives. The elastic fluid tank is located in the wrist. When the fingers are emptied, they are stretched and the fluid is pumped from the finger joints into the elastic tank in the wrist, bending the wrist and opening the hand further. The pump is noise-isolated and free-swinging in a CFRP tank; valves and controls are located in the metacarpus, which is completely covered with CFRP.

2005 - Fluidhand 8 Up The Fluidhand 8 has 8 drives that are controlled via 5 valves. The bellows in the index finger and middle finger are each hydraulically coupled with each other, and the drives of the ring and little fingers are also connected with each other via a common valve. The special feature of this further development is that the metacarpus has been replaced by a hermetically sealed pressure body. Inside the metacarpus is an elastic tank in the form of a diaphragm, in which both the drive medium (vegetable oil) and the control electronics, valves and pump are integrated; all system components "float" permanently in the drive medium. Between the pressure body shell and the diaphragm there is again a two-phase gas with a constant pressure of 2 bar. The integrated design allows any space reserves in the metacarpus to be used as a fluid reservoir, while at the same time forming a maximum gas volume for preloading the hydraulic tank. The pump can draw directly from the environment and the pump, valves and electronics are optimally cooled by the surrounding liquid. The design makes the hand very compact and at the same time extremely stable. Due to the very flat metacarpus of 30 mm and the short design, the hand achieves an anatomical shape and with only 410 g it is particularly light. The Quicksnap wrist closure makes the prosthesis compatible with all stem systems and their power supply. The prosthesis is controlled by two EMG electrodes integrated in the prosthesis socket. Simple trigger switching signals can be used to switch between pre-programmed grips and the grips can then be controlled proportionally. For the first time, a sense of touch has also been integrated into the prosthesis. The grasping force measured on the index finger via a sensor is transmitted to the system controller, which activates a vibration motor on the hand that transmits coded information to the prosthesis wearer about the force applied. In addition, the Fluidhand 8 serves as a test platform for new prosthesis controls such as grip pattern recognition or motion control using 3D sensors, research areas on which the research center has been working intensively as part of the Fluidhand development.

1998 - Fluidhand 1 This first soft hand consists of thin foil layers, which have been joined together to form more complex drives in a sandwich construction. Five fingers, built up from 6 foil layers each, functionally welded in pairs, with the middle two foils forming the skeletal structure filled with epoxy resin. The outer two foil layers each form a fluidic muscle. For this purpose, two thin films were welded together in such a manner that chambers were formed in a row and connected to each other. When this structure is inflated with a gas or liquid, it contracts by about 20 % of its length, similar to the natural muscle, and the finger curls up like a bow. After a practical semester and his diploma thesis at the Karlsruhe Research Center (now KIT), Stefan Schulz graduated with a degree in electrical engineering and device systems technology from the University of Rostock and took up a position as a research assistant at the Research Center. Already as a student at the University of Rostock, Schulz worked on the development of alternative miniature drives and patented a process for the production of planar fluid drives on a foil basis. At the Research Center, he continued developing this technology, particularly targeting applications in the field of fluidic robotics, so-called soft robotics in the environment of medical technology research topics. The aim of the work was to develop new drives for instruments used in minimally invasive surgery. Schulz's first applications for the new technology were flexible fluid actuators, miniature catheters for diagnostics, endoscope guidance systems for minimally invasive surgery and diagnostic colonoscopy systems. Fluidhand 1 was created as a “by-product” during the development of a camera guidance system for laparoscopy. The same artificial muscles that enable the movement of a laparoscope camera also work in the Fluidhand 1. In this process, two layers of film are welded together in a diamond-like pattern to form a chamber. When a pressure is applied to this chamber, the flexurally limp but stretch-resistant foil layers form circular arcs, resulting in a shortening of the previously flat structure. The artificial muscles formed in this way work as agonist and antagonist in the Fluidhand 1 and enable the artificial finger and thumb to be bent and stretched and stiffened. A single finger can describe a 180 degree arc, but the force of the artificial muscles is very low due to the material and not suitable for holding objects heavier than approx. 100 g. Up

Due to the large number of new and experimental components, the metacarpus has turned out to be significantly larger than the previous model, but at this stage of development, the anatomical shape and size of the hand is not a priority. For the hydraulic system, experiments were carried out with a tank that allows energy recovery when the hand is opened. The tank consists of a rigid outer shell and an elastic tank bladder inside. Between the outer shell and the tank bubble is a two-phase gas under constant pressure of 2 bar. In the intermediate space, just enough gas is formed from the liquid aggregate state until a constant pressure is reached. When the hand is opened, gas is formed; when it is closed, it is compressed into liquid, at a constant working pressure of 2 bar at room temperature. The internal diaphragm with the hydraulic fluid is thus under the pressure of the gas. When a valve is opened, a finger joint is already moved without the hydraulic pump having been activated. The pump can then build up even greater grasping force with a time delay. In this way, very dynamic and also noiseless finger movements are possible. When the drives are emptied, the water is pressed back into the tank, against the pressure of the two-phase gas, and the system is ready for the next grasping process. Up

Passive partial hand system for partial hand prostheses with flexible finger positioning, durable materials, and optional cable-operated joint. VINCENTpartial body bodypowered partial hand system The passive partial hand system enables prosthetic reconstruction of part of the hand. It consists of functional passive finger and thumb prostheses that can be positioned at different angles in one or two joints. The weight-optimized stainless steel joints with variable-length finger or thumb attachments are very robust and water-resistant. The finger or thumb covers, which vary in length, are made of durable and dirt-repellent HTV silicone. The fingers are mounted directly to the shaft with two screws coming from the shaft or aligned and fixed in position using various frame types made of stainless steel sheet and aluminum adapters. The fingers can be equipped with a cable-pull joint and, optionally, a grid joint. The joints work in such a way that pulling the cable causes the cable-pull joint to bend. Flyer VINCENTpartial body
